Title: IPAC table writer: request for help

Unfortunately, it looks like astropy's table format is missing a lot of the important metadata - most essentially, the column format - in the IPAC reader. Can anyone familiar with the internals point out how I can get the appropriate metadata? Do I simply need to re-write the reader?
